Fireworks in Newport

July 4th, 2012

Watch the sky light up over Yaquina Bay!

Helpful Hint:  It’s good to show up early to the bayfront or surrounding areas as over 5,000 people watch the display.

The Aerial display will be launched from a new location on private property just east of the Port of Newport International Terminal on Yaquina Bay Road.  With the new location, officials say the best fireworks viewing area will be from the Hatfield Marine Science Center in South Beach.  The parking lot will be open to pedestrian traffic only.

This year many of Newport’s boat charter services are offering bay trips during the fireworks celebration.  Interested citizens are encouraged to contact a local charter service for further information.
